John Logan's
I'll Eat You Last
A Chat with Sue Mengers

Don Stephenson, Director

John Coyne, Set Designer
Gregory A. Poplyk, Costume Designer
John Lasiter, Lighting Designer
Hunter Spoede & Michael Miceli, Sound Designers

Oozing equal parts charm and ferocity, and sparkling in a glitter-trimmed caftan designed by Gregory A. Poplyk, Karen Murphy slips easily into the character’s outsize personality.

John Coyne’s Hollywood Hills set offers lots of playing area, but Murphy as Mengers remains seated, sprawled, and languishing on a sofa centerstage, in a caftan designed by Gregory A. Poplyk similar to those worn by the “zaftig” Mengers. John Lasiter’s lighting and the sound design of Michael Miceli and Hunter Spoede is solid.
